From the publisher

In this surreal and poetic collection of short vignettes, we are invited into the quietly magical world of Sato the Rabbit--a world that mirrors our own, yet shimmers with wonder, curiosity, and transformation.

"One day, Haneru Sato became a rabbit. He's been a rabbit ever since."

With these matter-of-fact yet dreamlike opening lines, the story unfolds into a series of gentle adventures where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. In Sato's world, a puddle reflecting the sky becomes a window to another realm. A walnut cracks open to reveal a cozy home, complete with a bathtub and bed. During a meteor shower, Sato catches falling stars in a net, lighting the way for a family's nighttime walk.

Rendered in soft watercolors and spare prose, these stories celebrate imagination, solitude, and the quiet magic of everyday life. Sato the Rabbit is the first in a beloved series from Japan that invites readers of all ages to slow down, look closely, and rediscover the world through new eyes.
